Yes! At that weight you need a belt. I won't go above 225lbs in squat or deadlift without one.

It is more about preserving my health. I want to be doing this for another 30 years, so even if it looks weak to have a belt (and knee sleeves) at 225lbs, I'm doing it anyway.

This is the belt I have and really like:

It helps you brace your core. Gives your muscles something to push against.

And will help keep your lower back from rounding early on in the eccentric portion of the lift.

I switched to mission belt a few years ago. It has been great.
